But if Christ is amongst us, then it is necessary that we sometimes yield up our own opinion for the sake of peace. Who is so wise as to have a perfect knowledge of all things? Therefore trust not too much to thine own opinion, but be ready also to hear the opinion of others. Though thine own opinion be good, yet if for the love of God thou foregoest it, and followest that of another, thou shalt the more profit thereby.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are on the way to a pertinent answer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54808]]></link><description><![CDATA[The essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are on the way to a pertinent answer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48031]]></link><description><![CDATA[In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48031</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24789]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[. . .

We have been trying to apply machine-age methods to our relations with God. We read our chapter, have our short devotions, and rush away, hoping to make up for our deep inward bankruptcy by attending another gospel meeting or listening to another thrilling story told by a religious adventurer lately returned from afar. The tragic results of this spirit are all about us. Shallow lives, hollow religious philosophies, the preponderance of the element of fun in gospel meetings, the glorification of men, trust in religious externalities, quasi-religious fellowships, salesmanship methods, the mistaking of dynamic personality for the power of the Spirit; these and such as these are the symptoms of an evil disease, a deep and serious malady of the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To act from pure benevolence is not possible for finite beings.
